What is the driving curfew for minors in California?

I know that minors always get a restricted license in California, but what are the curfew hours for driving? I’m just wondering when I should try not to drive.

The driving curfew for minors in
California
prevents you from driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. for the first 12 months of having your license.
You also won’t be allowed to drive with anyone under 20 in the car unless there’s a licensed driver who is 25 or older in the car with you both.
If you’re caught driving outside of curfew, you could be ticketed. If you receive more than two driving points on your license within the first 12 months, you could even have your license suspended or revoked, so it’s best to only drive within the allowed time, just to be safe.
